  You can use the following-sibling axis:

    > cat per.xml
    <animal>
      <species>
        <name language="English">Wolf</name>
        <name language="Spanish">Lobo</name>
        <name language="English">Warg</name>
        <name language="Latin">Canis Lupus</name>
        <name language="French">Loup</name>
      </species>
    </animal>

    > cat per.xsl
    <xsl:transform
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        version="2.0">

      <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

      <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="animal/species"/>
      </xsl:template>

      <xsl:template match="species">
        <xsl:variable name="second"
                      select="name[@language eq 'English'][2]"/>
        <new>
          <xsl:copy-of select="
              $second, $second/following-sibling::name"/>
        </new>
      </xsl:template>

    </xsl:transform>

    > gexslt per.xsl per.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <new>
       <name language="English">Warg</name>
       <name language="Latin">Canis Lupus</name>
       <name language="French">Loup</name>
    </new>
